As an individual, my fossil fuel usage in August has been... probably not zero but low enough that I don't know about any. That seems irrelevant though, since I don't go around claiming that the banks/elite/1%/oil companies/jews made me do it and I'm powerless to stop.

I don't consider myself powerless. I can do some things, can't do others. Most significantly, I vote. That ~80% tax was established, and not just that. For example, you may have seen this charger (blue and white on the left)?

That tiny little charger charges the batteries on the ferry. It and the ferry had to be developed. I voted for that and it exists.
